Everything he’s done with Twitter is great. It was time someone brought it down a couple dozen notches. Here’s hoping someone will do the same to Meta next.
I’m on Twitter for a long time now and nothing really changed. No one left. People that lean left are bitching about the platform but continue to tweet. Previously, the same was done by right leaning people.
Well you’re not on Twitter now, are you. Neither is anyone else. Also they’re not tweeting anymore, they’re . . . xing? And per the article that was the last email from the twitter.com domain (supposedly) so . . what, is it x.com now?
The biggest wtf in this is that tweeting, a term that’s been ingrained into modern lexicon, is becoming irrelevant. That’s like the greatest advertisement you can have for your platform.
Twitter has lost over 10% of its users and engagement/monthly active users is down, Musk even admits they’ve lost users. Traffic is also going down with the API change/requirement to be on Twitter proper, as well as limiting the number of tweets one can see.
Considering how much a Twitter is bots, that means the number of actual people who left is actually much higher. So yeah, something did change lol just because you haven’t noticed it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
Edit: I’m not sure why you are talking about left and right users tbh. Seems like you’re kind of shoehorning a “both sides“ comment since no one is talking politics here.
Yeah nah, pretty much everybody of importance left the platform quite some time ago actually. Twitter truly has turned to shit too. All you see in your feed is the same extreme-right propaganda we’ve seen for 4+ years since the pandemic. It’s just that now it’s boosted by Elon’s fuckery. Also, there’s a reason why they’re begging us to come back.
They created their own little echo chamber and now they have nobody to argue with. That’s what happen when a far-right social media is created usually. They realize they aren’t the powerhouse they thought they were and all of a sudden it’s just “uh, where is everybody?!?!?”
If you want my opinion, it’s 1000% deserved and they can suck my dick, I ain’t coming back just to hear “VACCINE BAD ORANGE MAN GOD PLS JOIN US WE CAN KILL EVERYBODY THAT LOOKS LIKE A JEW!”

I left in November and deleted my account in December. Mastodon/the Fediverse is what I always wanted Twitter to be but it never was

The guy’s, like, a 5-D chess jenius.
Over 50% of its advertisers left. That means most of the brands are not interested in the kind of people left in the toxic wasteland called X.
Spewing xcrement

I disabled my account the day Muskrat was forced to buy Twitter due to his own stupidity.
